Do Budget Travel Guides Save You Money?   by Kieran Gracie

There are several ebooks for sale on the internet that claim to show how you can save much if not all of your air fare whenever you decide to fly from A to B. There are also deals to be found for hotel accommodation, cruises, car hire, train journeys, safaris - virtually any kind of travel you might be planning.

These guides seem to upset some of the more experienced travel fraternity. Why pay for information that can be found for free online? It's a con! No real person would want to have any truck with these carpetbaggers! Only fools would be sucked in by these sorts of claims! Blah, blah, blah.

Well, I have no problem researching and selling specific information to people who want to pay for it. Travel agents do this as well, and do not come in for the same criticism from the travel gurus. There is a huge information business out there, and we all access (and pay for) it on a daily basis.

I believe that it is the mindset of these travel 'experts' that is the real problem. With many years' experience of travelling to obscure parts of the world, I know that you often have to make your own arrangements using unfamiliar airline data and trying to get hotel rooms in a foreign language, all the time ready to change schedules at a moment's notice to meet a new business timetable. This is what makes seasoned travellers feel superior to 'ordinary' people.

In spite of what the experts might say to the contrary, it is NOT easy to put your hands on the right travel data and information. It is difficult to locate quickly when needed. And most seasoned travelers have found their own ways of making their journeys easier without spending all their time on the phone or internet. So I believe it is quite acceptable to sell this knowledge and information to those who want the convenience rather than having to research it themselves.

Basically, that is the point of these travel guides. They show you how to make your travel easier, cheaper and better. This ensures that you travel the best and most efficient way, often with an unexpected and welcome upgrade in the process.

But we know that travel industry workers get all sorts of perks and allowances. Wouldn''t it be great to have a slice of these as well as all the planning knowledge?

A good budget travel guide will include full details about the secrets of the travel industry and how you can use them for your benefit. The cost of these information products is usually well under $50, and the ones I recommend also come with full refund, no-nonsense, guarantees so there seems to be no risk as far as I can see. At the very least they are very interesting to read and are full of ideas.

Any planning for travel should include a look at our recommended favorite guide on our website. I strongly suggest you give it a try - you can always get your money back. But I think you will prefer to keep it, because it is a mine of useful advice, tips and information for the demanding traveler.

Good travelling!
